Praises Brings You In His Presence
Did you Know…
That praises unto the Lord will keep you in His presence, remembrance of the Great things God has done and is doing now?
We praise God for who He is, what He has done and will do in the future…
God is Great all by himself. He is who He is, and there’s none like Him.
God inhabits the praises of His people. (Psalm 22:3) In the book of Psalms 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, and 150, David spells out just how to praise God…
Everything in the Heavens, On the Earth, In the Earth, In the Sea, the Sun, The Moon, Trees, the Winds and the Stars Praise the Lord.
How much more can we, having knowledge of how good God is and has been to us!
Praise Ye the Lord…Praising God bring you into a freedom that regardless of what you’re going through, you’ll come out victorious. Praises keep your spiritual mind on God. Not on the issue, situation, or problem.
Praises always gives God thanksgiving that we can do all things through Christ that strengthen us. Col 3:17
So today, let’s lift up the name of Jesus, for He is worthy to be praised.
Peace and Blessings to all…
We Are New Creatures, Arm Yourself…
Once we’ve accepted Christ in our lives, God placed us in a spiritual rim in the
We’re in this world, but not of it! So when the devil attacks us, is not our spirit he attacks, but it’s of a fleshly nature…
The devil is not a spiritual being he’s the ruler of this earth. That was over when he got kicked out of heave for rising up again God.
He doesn’t know what God speaks to us unless we confess it from our mouths…When we claim dominion over sin, and speak “We are the Righteousness of God”, that elevates us above everything on this earth.
When we accepted Christ, old things were pasted away and we became new creatures in Christ Jesus. The Word of God says in Eph 4:6, One God, & Father of all, who’s is above all & through all and in you all.
So if God is above all and He’s in us, that bring us above everything that’s not like Christ, which is the devil..
As we adorn ourselves with the Word of God, by His Grace, we can be victors in this World…
II Cor 5:17, I John 2:14-17
Peace and Blessings to all…
How Prepared is your heart in Serving God?
God gives us the tools to keep our hearts prepared? Humility, Imagination and memory…
When our hearts are prepared, we won’t fall away from God’s goodness. Prepared mean “Fixed”, “Established”, “Applied”, or “Committed”.
When David’s men tried to get David to kill Saul for the throne, He said, “My heart is Fixed, Oh Lord, My heart is fixed”. Ps 57:7.
David had prepared his heart to server God…”Fixed” means, “firmly set in position” or “not subject to change”. We can’t do this on our own…We need humility going before God. Humility keeps us from pride. And pride comes before a fall. Proverbs 16:18-19.
Imagination & memory keeps in our minds what God has done for us. If these 3 things are not working to prepare our hearts, then the devil has a way to come in and deter us from serving the Lord.
Think about it? When you see someone fall from grace, it didn’t happen overnight.
They stopped preparing their hearts.
I Chronicles 29:18, I Chronicles 29:6-7, Ps 10:17
Staying in the Presence of God
As I was researching the Word of God, I found 4 Things of staying full of God Presence.
1. Glorify God
2. Being Thankful
3. Imagination
4. A Good Heart
Making God bigger than your problem. When issues occurs, Praise God. When you do then God is the bigger one in your life. Mark 9:23
Being thankful involves 2 things – Being Humble and Memory. Humility is knowing that you didn’t accomplish these things on your own and keeping in memory is where God bought you from. Ps 103:2
Try to imagine the stories of the Word of God in your life. Picture God’s word coming alive in your life. In other words, find scriptures that refer to your situation and bring them forth. We are the righteousness of God.
What is a Good heart? It’s your attitude. Our of the good treasures of the heart, bring forth good fruits. Matt 12:35. The Word of God tells us that this is where all the good and evil fruits come from.
What are you thinking today???
Praise God, Praise God, PRAISE GOD!
Praising God is a giving of ourselves to him.Psalms 100:4 says enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name..
By focusing on your problems instead of praising God, you become self-centered and prideful. Praise forces you to get your attention on God and off your problems. If we can praise God in All things, then God is pleased with us. And it paralyzes the devil. This is the reason that God has created us. To Praise HIM.
When we pray, we should begin with praise and end with praise. The Lord's Prayer gives us this example, and Phil 4:6-7 tells us, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passed all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Praising God helps us enter into a place of worship. When you enter into that place of worship, you have an intimate relationship with God!
When we praise God, there is a sense of over abundance of Joy that fills our lives. Then there’s the peace of God that rules our hearts and minds.
Praise will build you up spiritually and keep you from crumbling, "for the joy of the LORD is your strength" Neh 8:10
We was created and placed here for one reason ONLY. To Love God and have Him love us.
Praise God, Praise God, PRAISE GOD!
It's Not About You.....
It’s not about what we feel………..
"What we feel is irrelevant; it's what we believe that will rule us. The devil is a liar and a thief. When he comes around, say, 'Satan, I know you're trying to discourage me, but what you've really done is remind me that I have received a word from the Lord concerning this situation.'"
"Everything the Holy Spirit does bears fruit. It is impossible for Him to be barren...God believes in His own ability and power, so we had better agree with Him." His promise in Ephesians 3:20 to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think "is tied to the amount of God's power we allow to work in us. Even if we have broken the power of a negative religious spirit, it can come back in through a 'works' mentality."
"Faith is like electricity.
Turn on the switch you have light. But without an electric current nothing will happen. Having the Word only in your mind produces no power; it merely give you mental assent to the truth. Faith releases the power, but the Word of God (the switch) directs the flow and tells you what to believe."
"You must tell Satan, 'Satan, Christ has already blessed us and you cannot prevent His blessing.' Satan's only power is to lie...Reject his lies and speak the promises of God."
Are You Sowing your Seed to a Vision or Just to Get???
As these words camed to me, I began to think? Am I needy or am I following a vision where I attend Church? God already knows your needs and will supply them according to HIS riches in Glory, according to Christ Jesus..... So since this is the case, why not activate the Word of God in your life and Sow a Seed to the Vision of the church where you attend. This is the Will of God to futher his Kingdom with giving your tithes and offernings. Think of it this way, You're not giving, You're Investing........
What are your thoughts on that???
What is FAITH.....
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
What does this mean? Let's take a look. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. But that's only a part of it. What is the substance? Once we hear what thus says the Lord, then we must apply it to our lives and meditate on it day and night. The substance is the "Voice" of God giving us instructions to act on.
So........Every time we hear the Word of God, then we must hear the Voice of God speaking to our hearts with instructions outside the preacher who’s giving us the word. This is a growth! Like all babies, some grow faster than others.
It depends on how much you're delighting in the presence of God and being obedient to word and voice, praying and fasting.
That's why allot of Christians (Christ Followers) are not receiving what they hope for. "Because They Have No Substance". You have Hope with No Results…….
What is the Motive for Your Giving?
1. To get a Harvest?
2. It’s in us to give?
3. Some Preacher asked you to?
Your giving has to be motivated by the gospel…Our giving has to be to further
the Word of God! To Preach the Kingdom has to be the motive! God will NOT
accept our giving unless our hearts are in the right place!
God loves a Cheerful giver when the motive is putting the Kingdom of God FIRST!
II Corth. 9:7
Are you giving and not reaping any of the Blessings? This may be the reason!
Let’s bring the gospel back into our giving. Let’s sow our seeds for the Gospel’s sake!
Then our main priority should be to enhance the Kingdom of God with our love, joy and
giving.
The Word of God says, He’ll supply all our needs according to his riches in
Glory, according to Christ Jesus! So what have we to worry about when we’re
walking in the Will of Christ! Phil 4:19
I have heard mostly “Sow your Seed” for this and “Sow your Seed” for that. Not
once, have I heard that the motive had to be to further the Kingdom of God. I
was so convicted to hear that. But I thank God, He has a way of teaching us the Truth!
I was sowing to reap my harvest. (So I Thought)! But with conviction, I humbled
myself and asked God to forgive me for being selfish to think only of myself.
Pure Love is not Selfish. It’s giving, loving and always looking at the needs of others.
I believe this is the way God wants all his children to believe.
Thank God for his Word!

When we accepted Jesus as our personal Savior, all the promises
Are afforded to us! But there’s something we must do!
SPEAK IT, CLAIM IT, & DECLARE IT!©
For this IS the Will of Christ!
